At KRL Distribution Ltd., we are honored to represent Schott NYC, a brand that has been at the forefront of fashion innovation and youth culture since its inception in 1913.
Founded by brothers Irving and Jack Schott in New York City, Schott NYC revolutionized outerwear by introducing the first leather motorcycle jacket with a zipper—the iconic Perfecto—in 1928.
Schott NYC’s designs have transcended generations, becoming symbols of rebellion and individuality. The Perfecto jacket gained legendary status when worn by Marlon Brando in The Wild One (1953), and later became a staple for punk rock icons like The Ramones . These associations cemented Schott’s place in both American and British subcultures, resonating with youth who value authenticity and self-expression.
